The race, in three figures
The race, in words
peter raynor finished 195th of 235 men in the Open division at Valencia 2026, in 1:41:12.
The stations carried this race: faster than 44% of the field across all eight, against 5% on the runs. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 2:19. The race faded late: the second half went 10:48 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Valencia 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:07 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
